King Teddy Back in the Studio

 

King Teddy is in the studio putting the final touches on a new Christmas EP. The project includes two original numbers, “Could It Be Christmas” and “Christmas Eve, Tonight”, as well as a sax-driven instrumental take on “Winter Wonderland”. The tunes will roll out for download December 2, 2011. The band’s previous offering, Stirred and Shaken, was released last year to critical acclaim. The disc featured 14 original songs and garnered two Wammies (Washington Area Music Awards) for 2010 Debut Recording and 2010 Big Band/Swing Recording. www.cdbaby.com/kingteddy  King Teddy is a five-piece, retro swing outfit from the Washington, DC area. For the last 10 years the group has performed dancer-friendly swing, jump blues and rockabilly at dances, clubs, concerts and festivals. What sets the band apart is the terrific singing of front man Mike Sottong (lead vocals, piano) and a growing body of original material that fits seamlessly with the cover material.
